Eh, nice. But, could be better.

I have lived in Milledgeville, GA since Sept 2019. And, despite paying more in rent, the cost of living is cheaper here than it was in Litchfield Park, AZ.
However, one must look closely at where to live. Prices range from very reasonable to, at least for the area, way too much. Also, between bait and switch tactics (which happened to me; rented site unseen; online, it looked great; but got a place that was way less than advertised (if this was an Upgraded unit, I'll eat my hat. But, only the good Lord knows what regular unit looks like).
And, thanks to COVID, I got stuck in my complex longer than expected. And, while I knew that the rent would go up at the one year mark, I was not expecting it to go up 10%. Nor, did the Property Management Co. send my a renewal notice on my lease.
Luckily, most of the restaurants are reasonably priced. And, even using a food delivery service does not make that much of a difference in the bill.
Unfortunately (at least in my complex), and a few of the businesses that I have been in, Southern hospitality, ain't what it use to be. Not only are the people less than friendly (I don't expect someone to go out of their way to talk to me; but when passing by someone, and I wave, or say, Hello, most of the time, I get nothing in return), some of the businesses, including the Walmart, employees are less than helpful.
While the summers are "cooler" than Arizona (duh), there is a lot more humidity in the air. So, the winters (can get down to the low 20s) can be penetrating. And, because of the hilly terrain, cold air gets trapped in the space between the floor, and the ground.
